Owner dependency
73/100

- +Founder age: Director aged approximately 74 — succession pressure is live.

SIGNALS
- primaryFounder aged 70+: Senior director is approximately 74 years old. Natural succession window is now.
- secondaryTwo-director governance: Small-team governance. Succession depth is thin but not absent.
